Text Mining: #ksleg Followup

Last week's tweeting and blogging about mining the #ksleg (Kansas government related tweets) hashtag was a hit, so I decided to do it again. First a wordcloud (because I know that's what everyone cares about) It looks like Brownback, budget, audit, cut, and ksed (education) are hot topics.

*Quick note for the data scientists, this bit of satire is easy to replicate for any twitter search term. Essentially you use the twitteR library to download all the tweets, convert into a data frame, and then summarize the data.
